How to Curl Your Lashes and Apply Mascara

Eyelash curlers are a girl’s best friend.
They are also the cheapest and the easiest
way of curling your lashes. I know the
eyelash curler can look a little scare but
once you get past that fear, it’ll be very
fast and easy to use.

Open your curler, position it over an open
eye and look down. When your upper lashes
are in place, slowly close the curler and hold it
for a few moments. After that, open the curler
back up and remove it from your lashes. Do
the same thing to your other eye. TIP: if you
want your lashes to be even more dramatic,
repeat the drill.

After you finish curling your lashes, take out
your mascara. Make sure that it’s not dried
and old; it will not give your lashes the best look.
After taking the wand out, gently wipe it with a
Kleenex so that you don’t end up with clumps.

Start by applying mascara working on the upper
lids and from the outer to the inner corner of each
eye. Apply mascara lightly to the bottom lashes.
This will make your eyes pop. Because the mascara
can build clumps, you should apply two to three
coats of mascara on your lashes. Wait for your
lashes to dry before applying the next coat.

You should never apply mascara after curling
your lashes. Make sure you eyelashes are clean
before you curl them first, but make sure all
other makeup is applied before. To avoid clumps
and a health hazard, make sure you throw out your
mascara after four to six months to avoid the
build-up of harmful bacteria. Coloured mascara,
such as green or blue can be used by those with
fair skin or light eyes. For a more toned-down
look, apply a coat of black mascara with a hint
of blue mascara at the edges.
